Reinventing Ourselves at the Beach
- "As time goes on, we are drawn to the beach to return to our conscious mind the sensation of the body -- not in the private, compartmentalized world of bath or boudoir that contexturalizes us by reference to the hygienic or the erotic -- but at the infinitely creative junction of elements where habit and convention dissipate and imagination once again takes over. It is to the beach, in other words, that we go to reinvent ourselves." - excerpt from the book, The Beach: The History of Paradise on Earth," by Lena Lencek and Gideon Bosker, published by Viking Penguin, 1998, pg. xxiv.
